Jack and Aubrey are high school students.

Laura and Alec are trained terrorists.

There was no reason for their paths to ever cross...

But now a mysterious virus is spreading throughout America, infecting teenagers with impossible powers. And these four are about to find their lives intertwined in a complex web of deception, loyalty, and catastrophic danger — where one wrong choice could trigger an explosion that ends it all.

Robison Wells blew readers away with Variant, which Publishers Weekly called “a chilling and masterful debut” in a starred review. The sequel, Feedback, was praised by Kirkus Reviews as “an absorbing read that won’t let fans of the first down.” In Blackout, he delivers a lightning-fast, nail-bitingly intense thriller that’s perfect for fans of The Maze Runner and I Am Number Four — set in a complex and unpredictable world, where the greatest threat comes from a weapon that no one knows how to control... and the most chilling questions have yet to be answered.
